Song Lyrics

She lit a cigarette and told me were through
A steady hand tapped dashes to the floor
She held herself together just to watch me come unglued
Set fire to everything I've ever felt before

The bitter taste of heartache still makes me wanna choke
'Cause I remember watching all those years go up in smoke

So burn it down, burn it down now
'Cause I can't walk away
I need to see what's left go up in flames
So burn it down, burn it down now
Until there's nothing left to say
'Cause I don't have the nerve to let it die out
So I'll burn it all down

Waking up alone will come easier in time
But this empty bed won't ever feel the same
I try to hold myself to keep you off my mind
I'd try anything, everything, to keep my head from playing games

'Cause I remember watching all those years go up in smoke

So burn it down, burn it down now
'Cause I can't walk away
I need to see what's left go up in flames
So burn it down, burn it down now
Until there's nothing left to say
'Cause I don't have the nerve to let it die out
So I'll burn it all down

So burn it down, burn it down now
'Cause I can't walk away
I need to see what's left go up in flames
So burn it down, burn it down now
Until there's nothing left to say
'Cause I don't have the nerve to let it die out
Oh, I don't have the nerve to let it die out
So I'll burn it all down
